Check the Level

Her name was Lily, his was Todd, she was tall and he was odd

And all the other girls said she was too fat for the squad

She just wanted friends, yo, and he just wanted broads

He'd do anything for pussy, change his ways, he'd swear to God

He needs to straighten up, he isn't smart enough

I wouldn't be his date, he doesn't dress like us

Remember all the times that he got beat up on the bus

But what he learned from that was to be careful who you trust

He knew that  they were wrong so he took it with a yawn

He knew his time would come, yo, and he'd be moving on

So he locked himself inside a room and started writin' songs

You could catch him in the back of class singin' all along like

Check the level 'cause something's comin' over me

Check the level 'cause something's comin' over me

Check the level 'cause something's comin' over me

Something's got a hold of me, always controllin' me

It's in the audio, it's in the air

It's in the way you move, it's everywhere

It's something beautiful that you don't know

So, feel the audio and let it go

Yo, well back to Miss Lily when she used to let the days pass

Sitting home alone, suckin' food up off her place mat

They used to call her fat so she started losin' weight fast

Got sick in debate class to throw up what she ate last

She didn't know the things they said that left her hurtin'

Would actually turn out to make her a better person

She locked herself inside her room and to the rehearsin'

Walkin' down a runway in a dress she made from curtains

She was slimmin' up and she was tall enough

She became a model, she was paid and she was loved

See what you thought you knew about these two was givin' up

'Cause no matter what they said' these two just didn't give a fuck

They had it all along, they just figured it out

How to take the negativity and turn it all around

Now Lily's turnin' heads up on the runway in Milan

And Todd is sellin' millions while his fans sing along like

Check the level 'cause something's comin' over me

Check the level 'cause something's comin' over me

Check the level 'cause something's comin' over me

Something's got a hold of me, always controllin' me

It's in the audio, it's in the air

It's in the way you move, it's everywhere

It's something beautiful that you don't know

So, feel the audio and let it go

Well, it's the six string slayer, the rhyme cultivator

Pickin' homegrown rhymes straight out the incubator

Cross fade to the right while I slide to the left

There's somethin' comin' over me, controllin' every breath

Gasping for air, my fears burn through

If there's something in the audio, then what they said was true

Full speed ahead, code red, phase two

The sound waves control the minds of me and you

It's in the audio, it's in the air

It's in the way you move, it's everywhere

It's in the audio, it's in the air

It's in the way you move, it's everywhere

It's something beautiful that you don't know

So, feel the audio and let it, go
